Dear Commission,

Right now, Super PACs don't have to disclose their unlimited corporate
donations. That means they can keep the public in the dark about who's
funding the attack ads that bombard their TV screens daily.

That's why I'm joining with the 14 United States senators who formally
asked you to use your regulatory authority to require that corporations
disclose their spending in elections.

SEC: Exercise your regulatory authority to require public disclosure of
corporate political contributions.

Do the right thing here. Require corporations to disclose their
corporate political contributions. A constitutional ammendment will
negate Citizens United and the egregious effects of unbridled money
flowing into the democratic processs in this country.This will happen
with, or without your regulatory authority being enforced.However, it
would be the right thing to do under the present circumstances, and
better enable citizens to preserve the democratic process in this
country.
